Patricia Parr, O.C. iFugue CD Review

Just listened to your excellent CD. I enjoyed it even more on the third hearing. What a brilliant idea! The arrangement of the Vivaldi (Fugue #1) grabs your attention immediately on a strong and positive note! They are imaginatively arranged, with much contrast, and beautifully performed...

Ensemble Vivant has been enchanting audiences internationally for over 3 decades with unique seductive genre-diverse programming, fun, engaging stage presence, and magical, transformative music making.
